candy corn vine

Pewaukee, WI

Anyone grow candy corn vine?(manettia) I bought one for the first time last year. The kids, hummingbirds and I loved it so much I bought 4 more this year. It is only an annual here, but I think it is a really great vine.

This is one of my favorites! Mine is in its fourth year still in a large pot, coming back from a freeze!

Mine is all orange, without the red tips, and not sure if it is m.cordifolia, or m. inflata, but love it nevertheless.

Thanks for sharing your photo. It's a great looking plant.

I just saw one at Home Depot a few days back, and almost bought it; but didn't. After seeing your plant's picture, I will go get one for sure.

I just received a mail-order one. I hear that they toast in full sun?

It looks beautiful. I have been wanting one and bought one from almost eden. It died even before I took it outside.

Lovetropics, I had the same problem with plants from Almost Eden plus they charged me for a plant they didn't send and the rose had blackspot. They like to put you on Ignore. They'll never get anymore of my money. I bought my candy corn vine from another source several years ago and take it inside every fall.

ahelms. Thanks for letting me know. I felt that it was never rooted since it died very fast. I have not ordered from them since then.

You're welcome and you're probably right about it not being rooted.

Yes, James - they prefer early morning sun and light shade after noon.

Beautiful, pineapplesage! I'll have to keep my eyes open for one this year. Did grow it a couple of years ago for one of my planters.
